What was the name of the former retail business district in East Palo Alto?

  • Whiskey Gulch

  • Bourbon Street

  • Rum Row

  • Vodka Village

Answer

Whiskey Gulch was a two-block-long retail business district in East Palo Alto that was home to liquor stores, bars, and music venues. The name dates back to when Stanford University prohibited alcohol sales within a one-mile radius of the campus. Whiskey Gulch was just outside these limits and retained its character until 2000 when it was replaced with the University Circle office complex.
